The 3D viewer panel had a default size that was causing sizing issue
with the footprint properties dialog. Set the default size to -1;-1

This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
Also, remove a wxPanel border as it makes device-independent sizing
nearly impossible. For some reason wxPanel::GetClientSize() is returning
garbage here and breaks centering text without fudge factors. I think it
still looks good without the border, maybe better.

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.

This fixes potential DRC false positive bugs that occur when inner layers
are removed from the board but the actual objects on contained on those
layers remain in the board.
Since Pcbnew does not handle odd number layers, this is not a perfect fix.
When the user chooses the front or back layer only options from the layer
setup dialog, objects on the copper layers will not be removed. This will
not cause the false positive issue described above.
Get rid of dialog OK and cancel button event handlers and use the proper

Create new FP_LIB_TABLE_GRID object for the footprint library edit dialog.
Add method GetEnvVariables() to return any environment variables found in
a LIB_TABLE object.
Removes the need of using the legacy code in polygon/PolyLine.{h,cpp},
refactoring all CPolyLine instances with SHAPE_POLY_SET instances.
The remaining legacy methods have been ported to SHAPE_POLY_SET;
mainly: Chamfer, Fillet, {,Un}Hatch.
The iteration over the polygon vertices have been simplified using the
family of ITERATOR classes.
The motivation here is to concentrate display options in the GAL display
settings, ready for removal of legacy canvases. Instead of having the
property as a member of the DRAW_FRAME, with the GAL canvas retreiving
it from there, it is now in the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS struct, and both GAL
and legacy get it from there.
The options for setting cursor shape are then moved out of the general
options dialog, and into the GAL display options widget, where they can
be used in all GAL-aware programs.
GAL cursor shape works on GAL, but not legacy, so the option is now
available on OSX (but only affects GAL, and is labelled as such).
This gives a bit more space to the GAL options in the left panel
Also tidy up some code style and unnecessary default arguments in the
GAL display planel widget.
For a start, this contains the GAL display settings (AA settings and
grid styling).
In future, other modedit-specific settings could go here too.
Fixes: lp:1672150
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1672150
The primary motivation here is to allow other GAL canvas users (eg
Modedit, and soon Gerbview) to be able to easily modify GAL canvas
options.
For now, this doesn't change the display properties dialog in
appearance, but if more GAL options are added, it might need a bit of
tweak and maybe tabs or similar, like Eeschema preferences.
BOARD::GetBoundingBox() now directly calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
and there is a new method BOARD::GetBoardEdgesBoundingBox() used for
call sites that needed to use ComputeBoundingBox( true ) in the past.
This allows COMMON_TOOLS to implement ZoomFitScreen without knowledge
of the BOARD class.
SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
This means the dialog can be accessed from both GAL and legacy modes.
This also removes the use of static bools for passing the selection
states and instead used a struct of values passed in by the calling
code.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Some grid/zoom tools are left in PCBNEW_CONTROL because they currently
depend on Pcbnew-specific class members. Once refactoring is done to
make it possible to use all zoom and grid controls outside of pcbnew,
these last tools can be moved to common to match their ACTIONs.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
This allows the user to set a thicker grid line without causing the
grid lines to become over dense, or just make the grid denser according
to preference.
The term "density" is modified to "minimum grid spacing", which is
the pixel spacing between adjacent grid lines.
The spacing settings now comes in along, with other GAL display settings,
as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this end, the
setter in GAL interface is removed, as an external user should be
setting this parameter via the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS interface.
This adds a user-settable control for the grid line thickness on GAL

This class, INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL, is used to provide a frameworks for
classes that want to control a text control that can be incremented
according to some scheme.
Also provided is a wxWidgets implementation with spin buttons for
control, as well as mousewheel support.
The mappings from enums to control settings can be done in static
functions, which makes the set/retreive functions more concise, and also
puts the mapping functions in a clearly delineated place.
This puts the graphical/display options with the other similar options
in that dialog, rather than with the dimension options found in the Set
Grid dialog, which is in the Dimensions menu.
Also place the option itself in the GAL Display Options structure, so it
can be updated using the observer mechanism there.
The setter for the style in the GAL interface is removed, as the public
interface for setting this option is now to modify the
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS structure and notify the GAL when done.
The GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME is a private member and
is used in only a couple of places in the class. The real use of this
member is by a by-ref interface, GetGalDisplayOptions.
Because te GAL options are used by a very select few users of
EDA_DRAW_FRAME, it makes little sense to force all the (many) files
including draw_frame.h to also include gal_display_options.h, when the
vast majority have no need for it.
This massively speeds up compilation of the project when
gal_display_options.h is changed.
More isolation could be acheived by separating the GAL config types (eg
OpenGL antialias modes and grid style) from the options header, as,
although the GAL class uses them, not many includers of the GAL header
need the options struct as well.
- Move Select All buttons, after discussion in IRC found that numerous

- Spacing, punctuation adjustments
DIALOG_EXCHANGE_MODULE class now has its own header file in the
pcbnew/dialogs directory, and the xchgmod.cpp files was moved along with
it. This has two aims:
* (minor) Standardise the location of "base dialog" derived classes,
like most other dialogs in KiCad.
* (major) Allow inclusion of this dialog class into both legacy-mode
pcbframe.cpp and into GAL tools.
Setfocus now works on macos dialogs by setting DLGSHIM_USE_SETFOCUS.
This option is only enabled __WXMAC__ is defined.
FixOSXCancelButtonIssue() is now called inside DIALOG_SHIM::SHOW.
All other calls from within the dialogs were removed.
This implements the pad import/export to the board's master pad setting

It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.

* Minor UI policy text fixes.
* Minor text changes to improve readability.
* Minor tool tip changes to improve readability.
PAD_SHAPE_T and PAD_ATTR_T still have a double definition (new names and old names) to be sure python scripts are nor broken by the change.
PAD_DRILL_SHAPE_T does not have a double definition, because it is unlikely oblong holes are used in python scripts.
Double definitions will be removed in the (next) future.
* The exchange dialog can be now called from the footprint popup menu.
* It can be (as before) called from the footprint properties menu, but in this case, the footprint properties menu is closed before calling the exchange menu.
* Changes in exchange dialog to avoid truncation of long FPIDs
* Changes in exchange dialog to make some texts translatable (Previously, the same English sentence was used in very different contexts)
* Cleanup namespace in enum ZoneConnection in pcbnew/zones.h to self-explained names unification: PAD_ZONE_CONN_INHERITED, PAD_ZONE_CONN_NONE,PAD_ZONE_CONN_THERMAL,PAD_ZONE_CONN_FULL, PAD_ZONE_CONN_THT_THERMAL
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the VRML export; this allows a user to specify the (X,Y) coordinate which will be the origin point on the output
* Adds a "Grid Reference Point" to the IDF export; this is similar in purpose to the corresponding VRML export feature.
* Replace module nomenclature with footprint for improved consistency.
* Replace abbreviations in control text.
* Replace exchange nomenclature with change.
* Add code to allow each editing window it's own undo/redo count.
* Add code to allow for infinite undo/redo when count is set to 0.
* Add edit control to all editing windows general options dialog for
user configuration of undo/redo count.
* Add code to save and restore undo/redo count for each editing window.
* Clean up formatting and make OK button the default in the array dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the move exact dialog.
* Change the directory picker control from wxGenericDirCtrl to wxDirPickerCtrl so the native
directory picker dialog is used to select the directory in the select pretty library path dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the select pretty library path dialog.
Fix also an issue on Windows, when using the footprint viewer or the component viewer in modal mode:
Reason: these frames (when run under the Kicad manager) have the Kicad manager as parent, and were built with wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style.
On windows, when the frame with style wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT is displayed its parent frame is brought to the foreground, on the top of the calling frame.
and stays displayed when closing the frame in modal mode.
This issue does not happen on unix so we use now wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows, and wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT on unix to simulate a dialog called by ShowModal.
This is not perfect, but at least it works.
added the example gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py in demos, which shows how to do that.
Fix a Printf format issue (shown in Debug mode) in Libedit (%d used for a size_t, changed in %zu)
Fix a i18n issue in field names when loading a component, if the language was changed during a session, and kicad not restarted (see Bug #1448654).
However changing the language needs restarting kicad, in order to have all messages or menus translated.
* Use "Close" in the file menu of every main frame window instead of the
mismatch of the terms "Close", "Exit", and "Quit".
* Change the terminology in the Pcbnew graphic text edit dialog to match the
module text edit dialog.
* Improve the layout of the Pcbnew graphic text dialog.
* Fix some wxPrintf parameter type assertions for 64 bit time_t.
* Fix all (at least I think I got all of them) duplicate menu accelerator
characters.
legacy plugin: better compatibility with old brd files (current track width and current vias size, stored in SETUP section, were not read from file and incorrectly set)
* Fix default KISYSMOD/KISYS3DMOD (#ifdef typo) for OSX builds.
* Remove setting KIGITHUB from kicad/pcbnew Info.plist in favor of hardcoded default
setting for OSX builds.
* Remove now unneeded Set3DShapesDefaultPath() and other small things.
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
These settings are now not common to the board editor, because the footprint editor can be run outside the board editor.
download_boost.cmake: ignore .htm* files when installing boost. They are not used, and often have a very very long (and stupid) name which sometimes creates issues.
* if the current select plugin is the github plugin, one can select some of these libraries and add them to the table
* if the current select plugin is the kicad plugin, one can select some of these libraries and download them to make alocal copy.
They can added to the table after they are downloaded.
* Make generate button the default in Eeschema netlist dialog.
* Fix spacing issues in export IDF dialog.
* Make OK button the default in export IDF dialog.
* Remove unnecessary end dialog code from export IDF dialog.
* Improve resizing of export IDF dialog.
this option was possible only by modifying the way display options are managed.
before these changes, display options were a global DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Now each EDA_DRAW_FRAME(and derivated classes) includes its own DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
As a consequence, some duplicate display option variables in these classes have been removed, because there were just duplicate variables of the DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
- re-worked PNS_LINE_PLACER and PNS_ROUTER classes a bit, removing duplicate class members
- cleaned up Andrew's blind/buried via fixes
- fixed 'custom via width' dialog bug updating the width even when closed/cancelled
- fixed incorrect radius of drawn microvias
* Fix assertions in Eeschema when editing net labels, electronic rules check,
and plotting.
* Fix assertion when opening PCB calculator.
* Fix assertions in Pcbnew when changing footprints in footprint properties
dialog and adding or editing text.
* Improve VRML export dialog lay out.
* Make the OK button the default action in the export dialog.
* Make 3D model export work correctly and avoid redundant file copies.
* Fix embedded path separators in wrl files on windows.
* Fix absolute model file path creation in wrl files.
* Clean up VRML export code.
